Impulse Buy: Black Summer #0, Avatar. The prez and the vice prez get taken out by a superhero.

Impulse Buy: MPD – Psycho #1, Dark Horse Comics. I haven’t read it yet, but I think I made a mistake picking this one up. It’s really not my kinda stuff. Well, I can always sell it to Powell’s.

I also ordered a book too. The Spider: Robot Titans of Gotham by Norvell Page. The Spider is one of those pulp heroes from the 1930s. I’ve read about him, so I figured it was time to actually read some of his adventures.

I loved the first two Lone Rangers. The 'How. How are you alive?' line by Tonto was great. I was really into it, but was stopped dead by a detail in issue 3 that shouldn't have been wrong in the age of Google.

To make his silver bullets, he melts down the star. Then he carves a bullet shape into a block of wood with a knife and pours the silver into the mold.

This should give him 1/2 of a crudely shaped bullet, but miraculously, it gives him a smooth, whole bullet. The Ranger then takes this bullet and places it into the cylinder of his gun. No shell, just puts it in as though he were using a cap and ball revolver.

Now, don't go saying "it's just a comic book", please or you'll force me to get even geekier.

arkonbey - Simply put that that is an F-up, and as the Lone Ranger is built on a much more realistic framework, it’s really inexcusable. But I chose to ignore it and keep following the series.

Snab - The characterization is great, so I am willing to overlook it this one time.

OD – in this case, before he steps on you

Panda – Clayton Moore was great, of course the Lone Ranger was in reruns when I watched it but it was a fun to get up early every Sunday to catch it. The franchise suffered from the horrible movie in the 80s. But as that film has been forgotten, the fan base can be rebuilt starting with this new comic series.

Superhero Supply Store, what a creative idea, we need that in Portland! Thanks for the link.
